Excerpt

If you want to make paper sculptures you need a cutting board no smaller than 18” by 12”. You will only be cutting into the paper, not the board. Next, you need an X-ACTO Knife and lots of Number 11 blades. You need Elmer’s Glue-All, a transparent white glue. Now you need a variety of colored papers. I use Canson Mi-Teintes, an acid-free pastel paper. You will need a pad of sheer tracing paper, a soft pencil like No. 2 of F and a hard pencil No. 3H and a soft kneaded eraser.
